I’m Gonna Jump in the Lake

I have made a mistake
I tried to run from my fate
Try as I might, I cannot escape
I’m gonna jump in the lake

I’m gonna jump in the lake
And there's nothing you can do to stop me

Back in 04 when I was 18
Looked at out my window, and I had a dream
Drowning in emotions, far from fake
College was strange and classes were tough
Try as I might, couldn’t understand the stuff
And I wanted, to find, an escape
So far from home in a whole new world
Hopeless and lost, and then I met a girl
And my heart, she decided to take
But she didn’t feel the same it seemed
So I picked up my first guitar, and I screamed
I’m going to jump in the lake

I wanna swim, but I don’t wanna drown
Wanna stand back up, I don’t wanna fall down
I… want… to jump… in… the lake
Timid from the pressures of the world
The party playboys, and the beautiful girls
I want to jump in the lake

I’m gonna jump in the lake
And there's nothing you can do to stop me
